CLUJ-NAPOCA, Nov 5 (MEDIAFAX) - Several dozens members of Chinese [group] Falun Gong will protest in Cluj Napoca against the treatment of their fellows by the authorities in China, a MEDIAFAX correspondent reported.

On Monday several adherents of this group staged a first "spiritual demonstration" in Cluj Napoca and later they held a press conference in which said they will be distributing leaflets and brochures about their faith, and will submit a protest note at the Chinese Embassy in Bucharest.

Falun Gong has been banned in 1999 by Chinese authorities because of contradiction with the official ideology.
